Don't trust VPN providers

NOT true for this one specific expensive VPN.

ExpressVPN was the best. Was.

It (ExpressVPN) had no control by USA/NSA it was 100% owned by named Chinese Nationals and safe from prying eyes by feds (CIA/ NSA/ NRO/ FBI/ DIA/ USDOJ/ State Dept INR/ USAFISR/ DOE/ DHS/ TFI/ ONSI/ NSF/ USPS) and run outside of INTERPOL control in Caribbean. Only China conceivably could tamper with ExpressVPN.

Unlike competitor paid VPNs :

• ExpressVPN never kept any connection logs, and never once shows up in Federal US court proceedings documents [MOSSAD will change this starting now]. Not showing up in federal court proceedings ever is important to true privacy fanatics like me.

• ExpressVPN never got hacked by large entities (NordVPN and many others had their servers infiltrated for months)

• ExpressVPN never required mandatory software installation, you could laboriously set up a VPN using scripts and settings on Mac and Linux etc if desired.

• ExpressVPN used VISA cash paid "vanilla style" cards and deliberately did not require the pre-paid cards to be affixed with a zip code registration. No VPN I know allowed that in 2021. It meant that they floated service without a 80 cent merchant lookup prior, and just hoped billing would go through.

• ExpressVPN was fastest VPN, by far, and had hundreds of exit points, many with refreshed top tier colocation IPs, if truly paranoid you could exit their offshore in-house machines

I now will have a very hard time vetting and choosing a VPN recommendation for others.

Amusingly people like me are "beyond VPNS" and mostly utilize infiltrated and compromised home router exit points , and nearly "open" WIFI , within a state but not crossing state borders, within a single state, to not "stick out"

If you've paid for your VPN with anything tracable

It is much worse than this. A VPN always knows who you are... or at least has the critical piece of data that can unmask you. They know your true originating IP address. If you pay in say, bitcoin, they may not have your credit cared info but all you have done is make it a two step look up rather than a one step look up.

Bro I found this out first hand. Now i know im stupid. But I got express vpn. Shouldn’t have used any real information. Should have used Bitcoin. But I didn’t. Now my email Is spammed. With bullshit. It was night and day the amount of spam I got before getting express was virtually 0 and after I get several a day. It sucks and there’s no way to fix it. It should be illegal or something. Selling information. They should give you the option. Ask me, can we sell your information and give you a cut of the profits. Maybe then I’d say yea. Making money off everyone and you don’t even see anything from it except bullshit
